Countdown to kick-off: Sheffield Wednesday and Northampton look in great shape

Sheffield Wednesday v Preston

Sheffield Wednesday fans are feeling a lot more optimistic after the departure of unpopular manager Jos Luhukay and can contribute to a much more positive atmosphere when the Owls take on injury-hit Preston.

Caretaker-manager Lee Bullen has brought talented attacker Marco Matias back into the side and can steer the club to a much-needed victory.

Recommendation
Sheffield Wednesday
2pts 9-4 Betfred

Yeovil v Northampton

Matt Crooks is one of the best midfielders in Sky Bet League Two and his return to the Northampton starting line up (for the first time since early November) is bad news for Yeovil.

The Cobblers have lost just one of their last eight league games and should not fear Yeovil, who have lost three home matches in succession.

Recommendation
Northampton
2pts 11-8 Betfred
